For some reason, SD did not deduct their payment for the month of January. Unless my memory is totally messed up (usually is), I thought my payments were automatically deducted.
First payment was
August 20, 2018 Completed $34.99 for 1 item
September 20, 2018 Completed $34.99 for 1 item
Through December 20, 2018 Completed $24.99 for 1 item

But January's payment was not deducted, and the only way I noticed was by embarrassing my self on another third party forum. I had no guide data for the Premium channels. My channel listings for the Premium channels reverted to "Demo".

Questions
Why was my payment NOT automatically deducted, so I did not lose my channels?
